Gregory Wagner posted the route from Shortys Well:

The landscapes of Death Valley National Park are some of the most awe-inspiring in North America.  It is a land of extremes, of low and stark desert, twisting canyons, crumbling crags of barren rock desolation, vast wilderness, and solitude.  The lowest point of Death Valley itself is Badwater Basin, which at 282 feet below sea level is the lowest point in North America.  It is also where the hottest temperatures on Earth ever recorded by man were measured.  The basin is a salt-crusted wasteland.
